A new cryptocurrency is coming in 2020 by Facebook. Zuckerberg will try to partner with the governments and make it a bridge between his products like WhatsApp and Facebook.

Where could it be heading to?

I started a thread in the Economy section, about where I think it is headed: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5147740

My perspective is that FB are using crypto in order to suck up yet more personal data, this time in the valuable area of what we purchase, and then selling this on to advertisers. It's an example of the wider trend of surveillance capitalism, where anything that can be captured and digitised is captured and digitised in order to build up very detailed profiles on what our behaviour might be in the future.
